The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in East London has undergone significant ecological transformation since the 2012 Olympic Games, notably enhancing its biodiversity. A recent biological survey, known as a "bio-blitz," revealed an increasing variety of species including bees, birds, and wasps. Key findings include three species of bees, 42 species of birds, and other wildlife like otters and kestrels. Ecologist Tom Bellamy noted the surprising success of these achievements given the site's previous industrial condition, while also emphasizing that ongoing efforts are needed to sustain and enhance biodiversity in the area.
